Vatican banned skeptical scientist from climate summit

However, Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences — a body of luminaries, religious and not, dating back decades but with roots in the 17th Century — effectively vetoed de Larminat's presence. Asked why, Sánchez Sorondo responded in an e-mail, “because he’s not an academic authority in this field, neither a religious authority nor a U.N. authority.”

It sucks to lose arguments and then insist to be included in a process for which you are not academically qualified. I'm guessing they probably wouldn't have let me in, either, and I support the pope's encyclical.
